Trump boasts that Ivanka would be an "incredible" successor to Haley

President Trump told reporters Tuesday that he thinks his daughter, Ivanka Trump, "would be dynamite" as a replacement to UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, who resigned this morning, but added that he fears he'd be accused of nepotism if he chose her.

What to watch: Trump also floated Dina Powell, his former deputy national security adviser, as a potential successor.
